We spend most of the hours of the day working (sad but true), so we should invest time and effort into finding outfits that are professional. Although it’s encouraged to incorporate appropriate of-the-moment trends into your office ensembles, it’s more crucial to own a capsule of dependable pieces that anchor your wardrobe. Discover the six items every working woman absolutely needs so you can be sure to always look amazing at the office.
Office Style Essentials
Button-Down Blouse
Whether it's a crisp white poplin or a romantic ruffled design, a classic button-down shirt is a no-brainer. Style with a midi skirt, structured jacket and heels.
Day-To-Night Dress
A gorgeous dress you can wear to meetings and post-work drinks is a wardrobe linchpin. Choose a fitted midi that is both demure and figure-flattering.
Classic Blazer
Nothing is more reliable than a chic blazer when you need to add polish to workwear separates. A houndstooth double-breasted version is major right now.
Pointed-Toe Pumps
A no-fuss pair of black pointed-toe pumps is a non-negotiable. Refresh them each year so they don't start looking shabby.
Polished Trousers
When skirts and dresses aren't your thing, a sleek pair of pants lends a borrowed-from-the-boys look. Complement with a suiting jacket or offset the vibe with a feminine blouse.
Elegant Work Bag
It's a miracle if you can fit all your daily essentials in a small shoulder bag. A roomy leather tote can carry your electronics, notebooks, makeup and more—while still looking super chic.
